This is our friend Melanie Dalton. She has been a dear friend of the family since we were in college. She came over from Poulsbo, Washington with her cute family and helped us so much as we were getting things ready. We love you Mel and miss you so much! Welcome to the Kathy handbag society!

This was the Candy Buffet at our house. Blues, Browns and Creams in different candy's.

Tyler and Travis at Tomato Street. The day before the Hayden Reception we were able to have some fun with our friends the Dalton's and the Piggott's. The Dalton's came over from Poulsbo, Washington. We were so happy to see them! They were nice to make the drive over. Tawni, Ryan and Russ and Kathy also arrived. We went out to eat at Tomato Street.

Ryan and Tawni after dinner.

Cute little Maddie Dalton was our official picture taker! She did an awesome job. We think she should have a career as a photographer. She didn't let us take any pics of her, but we got this one.

Love this picture of Coen. If you can't view all the pics I added today, cuz I added a ton.....go to older posts!

I just wanted to brag a little about Brad. He just finished his Capstone Project for his senior year and he was part of an awesome project that they did for Union Pacific. It would take me a long time to explain it, so if you want to read about it it is posted on the BYU Homepage right now. If you don't see it right away you can scroll through until you see the headline about Union Pacific. They are trying to make the Union Pacific trains more aerodynamic.

You can see Brad through the open hole in the upper left hand corner of this picture.

Here is the windtunnel that Brad was in charge of. I asked him....are you sure you want to be an orthopedic surgeon? I guess it's sort of the same thing. Either fixing machines or fixing people.

Family

Our family is a circle of love and strength. With every birth and every union the circle grows. Every joy shared adds more love. Every obstacle faced together makes the circle grow stronger.
